Abstract: A safety or sports cone with controlled illumination is provided that is durable and easy to use. The cone has a light-transmitting body with an illumination device housing integrated into the top of the body that houses an illumination device that rests on a support ring and is accessed by a housing cap. The illumination device includes a light-emitting diode (LED) module, an LED actuator, a battery, and a battery housing. The illumination device is covered by a protective transparent shell. A reflective platform increases the illumination intensity at the top of the cone and provides additional protection from physical damage and contaminants. The illumination is activated and deactivated by pressing the center of the housing cap to affect the LED actuator. One or more ridges extending from the inner surface of the body below the support ring prevent unwanted activation of the illumination device during cone stacking.

Abstract: A stylus printing head comprising a number of electromagnets which operate the printing styli and which are clamped on a conical carrier by means of a clamping device. The carrier comprises cradle-shaped, resilient supports for each of the electromagnets. The resilient supports compensate for differences in expansion of the electromagnets, the carrier and the clamping device in reaction to temperature variations occurring. The resilience of the supports is obtained by means of slots in the carrier which enable the use of a plurality of carriers in the same printing head.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of thermoplastics fibrids, in which a solution of the thermoplastics material is fed to an impulse exchange chamber, where it is cooled so as to cause precipitation of the thermoplastics material, while it is subjected to a field of turbulent shear forces caused by the introduction of a gaseous or liquid medium into the said impulse exchange chamber.

Abstract: A pattern contained in an information carrier is transferred to and stored in a pattern drum provided with feeler levers, a retaining guide, and a switch. Upon the movement of the lock over the needle bed, this pattern is then transferred to pushing rod jacks which in turn act upon the needles. The pattern can be suspended for a predetermined distance during an interruption phase while the pattern information itself is retained in the pattern drum, and rapid and reliable operation of the knitting machine is ensured by the use of resilient or articulated feeler levers having nose-like projections at their outer ends. To ensure proper guidance of the feeler levers, the retaining guide includes a needle-shaped portion extending into the vicinity of the switch.

Abstract: An air climatizing or conditioning device possessing a plurality of flaps controlling air through passages and an adjustment or positioning motor and transmission means in order to actuate such flaps in a predetermined sequence. The transmission means comprising gears as well as entrainment elements or members cooperating therewith at predetermined regions, the entrainment elements being operatively drivingly connected with the flaps so as to be non-rotatable relative to their associated flaps in a predetermined position of each entrainment element.

Abstract: A matrix printer comprising a fanned arrangement of printing wires. Near their bearing points the printing wires are guided through openings in tag portions bent out of the plane of a strip-shaped porous member containing a lubricant. Lubricant is thus applied to the printing wires by contact between the printing wires and the edges of the openings adjacent their bearing points. The described method of lubrication results in a substantial prolongation of the service life of the printing wires as well as of the bearings.
